What is the cost of a taxi from POP to Sosua. Are the fares posted in the airport?

The airport prices are high, of course, and they show $20 to Sosua and $30 to Puerto Plata, but i'm sure you can get a taxi from Puerto plata to Sosua for $30, not to mention that you can get a public car to drive you without stopping for other passengers, for less than half.

I'm sure you can but $30 one-way is ridiculous.
That is almost 1,000 pesos.
For $30 you should be able to get a taxi to take you there for 2-3 hours and back.
I get Playa Dorada tourist taxis for less than this.

I agree that taxis are a bit overpriced, around here, but I was just quoting rates. Please don't kill the messenger.
If you can get a taxi to take you to Playa Grande, hang out with you for 2 or 3 hours and drive you back for 30 bucks, then your negotiating skills are way better than mine.
I just walked over to the taxi stand to get the official price off the board, and it reads $60 US, one way from Sosua to Playa Grande, $70 US, return.
Of course, one can negotiate, but I doubt that you can get a Playa Dorada taxi to Playa Grande for the mentioned price, what with the rising costs of fuel, and all.

Why are you talking about Playa Grande Rocky?
Ooops, sorry.
Must have been a brain fart.
Thought it said Playa Grande.
